Spelling CVC Words 1 | TeacherGB - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help children practice spelling CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words by matching pictures to their corresponding three-letter words.

What are CVC words?

CVC words are simple words made up of:
- C = Consonant
- V = Vowel
- C = Consonant
Examples: *cat*, *dog*, *pig*

---

Let’s go through each picture and identify the correct CVC word:

1. Pink Pig → The animal is a pig
✔ Word: pig

2. Open Box → A box is often called a box
✔ Word: box

3. Net (for catching bugs or fish) → This is a net
✔ Word: net

4. Hat (orange with black band) → This is a hat
✔ Word: hat

5. Red Push Pin (thumbtack) → This is a pin
✔ Word: pin

6. Wooden Clothespin → This is a clip
✔ Word: clip

7. Yellow School Bus → This is a bus
✔ Word: bus

Final Answers:

| Picture | CVC Word |
|--------|---------|
| Pig | pig |
| Box | box |
| Net | net |
| Hat | hat |
| Pin | pin |
| Clip | clip |
| Bus | bus |

> 💡 Note: "Clip" is a valid CVC word, even though it's not as common as others. It follows the consonant-vowel-consonant pattern (C-V-C): c-l-i-p — wait! Actually, "clip" has four letters: C-L-I-P, so it's not a CVC word.

Let’s double-check:

- Pig → P-I-G → ✔ CVC
- Box → B-O-X → ✔ CVC
- Net → N-E-T → ✔ CVC
- Hat → H-A-T → ✔ CVC
- Pin → P-I-N → ✔ CVC
- Clip → C-L-I-P → ✘ 4 letters → Not CVC
- Bus → B-U-S → ✔ CVC

So the clothespin might be intended to represent "clip", but since it's 4 letters, maybe it's meant to be "peg"? But a clothespin isn't a peg.

Wait — perhaps the intended word is "pin" for the push pin, and the clothespin is meant to be "clip" — but again, that's 4 letters.

Let’s reconsider: Is there a three-letter CVC word for a clothespin?

Actually, "clap"? No. "clip" is 4 letters. Maybe the image is meant to represent "peg"?

But a clothespin looks more like a "clip".

Alternatively, perhaps the intended word is "cap"? No, doesn’t match.

Wait — let's think about "pin" vs "clip".

The push pin is clearly "pin", which is a perfect CVC.

The clothespin is likely meant to be "clip", but that’s not a CVC word.

Wait — could it be "peg"? A clothespin is sometimes called a peg.

Yes! In some contexts, especially in British English, a clothespin is called a "peg".

And "peg" is a CVC word: P-E-G → ✔

So perhaps the intended word is "peg", not "clip".

Similarly, "bus" is fine.

So corrected list:

| Image | CVC Word |
|------|----------|
| Pig | pig |
| Box | box |
| Net | net |
| Hat | hat |
| Push pin | pin |
| Clothespin | peg |
| Bus | bus |

✔ All are now valid CVC words.
